Privacy Policy

The short version

VerifyHabit verifies your habits using data that stays on your iPhone. We read health and Screen Time signals on-device, only with your permission, and only to decide whether a habit was completed. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We run no third-party analytics or tracking on this website or in the app.

What the app reads, and where it stays

Depending on which habits you set up, VerifyHabit asks for permission to read:

• Health data (Apple HealthKit): workouts and heart rate, step counts, and sleep — used to confirm habits like "Workout 30 min" or "Sleep 7 h".
• Screen Time data (Apple's Device Activity and Family Controls frameworks): whether you stayed within an app limit or kept a phone-free window — used to confirm discipline habits. Apple's Screen Time system reports only threshold events to the app; VerifyHabit never sees a list of the apps you use or your browsing activity.
• Motion at alarm time: enough movement signal to confirm you are up when the morning alarm fires.

All of this raw data is read and evaluated on your device. Raw health samples, workouts, sleep records and Screen Time activity are never uploaded to our servers.

What leaves your device

To set your subscription price each cycle, the app sends our server only the minimum derived results: which habits were verified, missed or pending, your weekly consistency percentage, and the resulting price tier — tied to a random account identifier, not your name. This is billing arithmetic, not health data: no heart rates, no sleep records, no app usage ever leaves your device.

What we store

• Your account identifier and subscription status.
• Your habit definitions (for example, "Workout 30 min · hard") and their weekly verified/missed outcomes.
• Your weekly consistency scores and the price tier you earned.

We keep this only as long as you have an account. Payments are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store; we never see or store your payment details.

What we never do

• Sell your data — to anyone, ever.
• Share your data with advertisers, brokers or "partners".
• Run third-party analytics, ad SDKs or tracking pixels.
• Use your health data for anything other than verifying the habits you chose.

Your controls

• Revoke Health access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.
• Revoke Screen Time access at any time in Settings → Screen Time.
• Delete your account directly in the app (Profile → Delete account). This removes your habits, scores and account data from our servers.

If you revoke a permission, the affected habits honestly show as unverifiable — the app never fakes a result, and it never punishes you with dark patterns for saying no. It simply can't count what it can't prove.

Children

VerifyHabit is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect — plainly, not buried in a changelog.
